<p>Hello, in rustc-dev-guide there is a mention that all source files should not have header with the copyright notice. However, I have found some and according  to <a href="https://rustc-dev-guide.rust-lang.org/conventions.html#copyright-notice">this section</a> they should be removed. </p>
<p>From a quick ripgrep it looks like there is <a href="https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/blob/master/src/test/rustdoc/auxiliary/enum-primitive.rs">this file</a> and some other with Public Domain copyright (should these copyrights be removed as well?) : <a href="https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/tree/master/src/test/ui/closures">for example here</a></p>
<p>I know this might be a fringe issue, but striving for coherency is something a good repository should aim for :)</p>

<p>The dev guide is probably right on the subject so you can either open an issue about it or if you have the time and will, a PR <span aria-label="smile" class="emoji emoji-1f642" role="img" title="smile">:smile:</span></p>

<p>It looks like these copyrights have to stay right now (they cannot be removed if they are not subject to the general licensing terms). I submitted a PR but it was closed. Sometime in the future then :)</p>
